Letter: Four things needed, including balanced budget amendment

It is absolutely pathetic how this administration has lost the trust of the American citizen. After the 2008 election, gun and ammunition sales went ballistic because of the Democrats gaining the White House and both houses. Thankfully, they were not in the mood to enact gun restrictions.

With this past national election, any trust that was left is now completely gone. Gun and ammunition sales have skyrocketed. The Democrats and the Republicans can't agree on anything.

We need four things to happen in this country: A flat rate tax on all income. A national sales tax. A balanced-budget amendment — and a whole new Congress and administration.
